Proverbs 15:12-22 God's Word Translation (GW)

12. A mocker does not appreciate a warning.He will not go to wise people.

13. A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,but with a heartache comes depression.

14. The mind of a person who has understanding searches for knowledge,but the mouths of fools feed on stupidity.

15. Every day is a terrible day for a miserable person,but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.

16. Better to have a little with the fear of the Lordthan great treasure and turmoil.

17. Better to have a dish of vegetables where there is lovethan juicy steaks where there is hate.

18. A hothead stirs up a fight,but one who holds his temper calms disputes.

19. The path of lazy people is like a thorny hedge,but the road of decent people is an ⌊open⌋ highway.

20. A wise son makes his father happy,but a foolish child despises its mother.

21. Stupidity is fun to the one without much sense,but a person who has understanding forges straight ahead.

22. Without advice plans go wrong,but with many advisers they succeed.
